Vanessa awkwardly confronts Briana amid her own drama with Angela.

When the party begins, the cast slowly arrives. Boogie arrives first and is cordial with Egypt. She offers Boogie a drink and he declines. He mentions that he wants to drink but should stay sober. Kristinia arrives next with Adonis. Vanessa arrives next.

Vanessa tells everyone that Angela isn’t showing up and she’s getting annoyed that they keep asking about her. Vanessa mentions she is stressing out about not telling Angela about the fashion show.

Egypt meets Kristinia and tells Pepa that she brought Adonis. They are shocked that she brought him.

Later on, Romeo and Briana stop by. When Briana comes in, Vanessa’s defenses are up, and Briana is her usual self. Briana walks up to Vanessa and says, “I missed you at the concert.”

Vanessa tells her that she wanted to have a conversation about Angela. The conversation is short but comes off awkward.

“I feel like we should have a conversation because I don’t want like, anything awkward between us because I know you and Angela like…” – Vanessa

“We probably should just have a conversation in case you feel some kind of way.” – Briana

“Well I just heard that…you know, you called her out of her name and stuff. And like, I, you know…”- Vanessa

“Oh, then we should probably talk about it. She was introducing herself, I said we’d already met. And she said, ‘When?’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know. Many moons ago,” or whatever. And she was like, ‘How old was I?” and I was like, B*tch I don’t know how old you are now.’ And I laughed and walked away.”

In her green screen interview, Briana says she was hoping there wouldn’t be any drama with Vanessa because she had been drinking gin.

“I just feel like I should say something to you, or like have a conversation with you because it is my sister and you know, I just heard you’d call her out of her name. And it’s my little sister, so…” – Vanessa

“We just had the conversation though. I just told you. I mean like, that’s where I’m at with it.” – Briana

“Yeah.” – Vanessa

Briana then shrugs and smirks, while Vanessa looks uncomfortable.

“On that note, I’ll see you around.” – Briana

Vanessa feels like the conversation went weird. Deja tells her that she doesn’t understand why it went left considering Vanessa was soft with her approach.

In a green screen interview, Vanessa confesses it’s weird to try to stand up for Angela when her relationship with Angela is waning.

“It feels incredibly awkward, even though like Briana had to be told like, ‘Can’t go around just calling people b*tches that are not your friends.’ You don’t do that. But I – the fact of the matter is, I have not talked to my sister either. So what am I really doing here?

Briana tells Tee Tee, Egypt and Troy that the conversation with Vanessa was just weird but she’s not understanding why Vanessa tried to confront her about Angela when she knows the sisters aren’t even on good terms.

Boogie falls to the peer pressure.

Boogie is flirting with Tee Tee. He asks her out and Tee Tee agrees. Boogie is excited about the prospect of going out with her.

Next, Boogie and Romeo are talking when Romeo gets a text from Master P and Pepa offers them shots. Boogie declines the shot at first but takes it after Pepa insists. He continues to drink at the party, admitting in his green screen interview that he has a serious drinking problem.

The next day, Vanessa FaceTime’s her baby sister Daryan who is modeling. She tells her about her clothing line and invites her to be in her fashion show. Daryan tells Vanessa that she hasn’t talked much to Angela and she wants to get closer with Angela.

Vanessa wants both of them at the fashion show but she isn’t sure how they will get along.

Next, Vanessa meets Kristinia at a restaurant. She tells Vanessa that she and Adonis are working on new music. When Kristinia asks Vanessa how she is with Angela, Vanessa tells her that she hasn’t talked to Angela in a while.

Tee Tee playfully she and Pepa may be enabling Boogie to drink since they convinced him to drink at the housewarming party. While they are out, Chad’s law firm calls Boogie about paying the $5,000 before they can proceed with the case.

Master P. deals with Lil One.

Romeo heads back to New Orleans for Master P’s casting for a moving. He is looking to meet with Lil One before Master P does. Romeo feels he can handle this himself before P does.

When they meet, Romeo tells him that everything rolled down to him. He tells Lil One he overreacted and his actions could hurt the family.
